SACRAMENTO, CA, Oct. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sunstock, Inc. (the "Company" or "Sunstock") (OTCBB: SSOK) has purchased a 100 room hotel located in Kern County, California for $4,100,000. Sunstock has entered into contract to purchase this hotel and has opened escrow. This hotel acquisition is scheduled to close by January 12, 2018.
Sunstock’s business strategy combines income producing real estate properties with investments in precious metals. The management team with over 20 years of hospitality industry experience has identified a distinct need for clean, safe and affordable rehabilitation housing facilities.
After purchasing the hotel, Sunstock plans to convert it in phases over a one year period to a no-frills rehabilitation housing facility that will provide a clean, safe room and transportation to clients enrolled in a substance abuse treatment program. During the conversion phase, Sunstock intends to simultaneously operate as a hotel.
Sunstock forecasts that the no-frills rehabilitation housing facility will generate over 10 million dollars in gross revenue in the first 12 months of operation and over 20 million dollars in gross revenue in the second 12 months, and thereafter. Also, Sunstock forecasts that the current hotel guest occupancy will generate $700,000 in gross revenue during the 12 month conversion period.
Sunstock believes that these revenue predictions are sustainable and will prove to be a successful pilot project. Management plans to bring additional no-frills rehabilitation housing facilities to the California market and eventually expand nationally.
